LYNCHBURG, Va. – The highly anticipated movie Lion King is in theaters and young students in Lynchburg are taking the stage in the Lion King Junior play.

The students learned their lines in just two weeks.

Organizers with the Academy Center of the Arts say the 40 students are a part of their Youth Theater Program.

Organizers say it was luck the play and the movie are showing the same day.

The academy is offering a promotion.

“We love the Lion King. I think the Lion King offers a lot of diversity and its fun and it’s a well-known story. And that’s one of the reasons why we wanted to pick it,” said Kelly Posenauer, director of education.
